If you are sourcing for a Canadian distributor, pharmacy chain, foodservice operator or janitorial supplier, the search for the lowest unit price MOQ and quotation for vinyl gloves in Canada usually starts with a simple question: what is your best price? The honest answer is that a defensible unit price cannot be quoted from a search result. It is built from your specification, your packing, your quantity, your destination and your freight terms. This guide explains what actually drives the number, using Junda's approved reference data where it applies, so you can compare suppliers on the same basis instead of comparing headline figures that were never equivalent.
Why there is no single "lowest unit price" for vinyl gloves
Vinyl and PVC disposable gloves are a configured product, not a commodity with one price. Two cartons that both say "4 mil vinyl glove, size M" can differ in piece weight, actual measured thickness, surface texture, cuff length, size mix, box count, carton dimensions and artwork. Each of those choices changes material consumption, machine time, packing labour and freight volume — and therefore the unit price.
Junda's approved product context describes these as cost-conscious disposable programs for general examination, cleaning and light-duty handling, where clarity, size, weight and packaging are project options. That is the correct framing: the specification is a set of project decisions, and the price follows the decisions.
For that reason, Junda does not publish a numeric lowest unit price. Any figure you see online without a specification attached should be treated as a starting point for a conversation, not a quotation.
The quotation variables you should expect to confirm
A complete quotation request should cover all of the following. If a supplier quotes without asking most of these, the number is likely to move later.
- Material and grade — vinyl (PVC) formulation and intended use category.
- Piece weight — grams per glove, which is the single largest cost driver.
- Size mix — how many pieces of S, M, L, XL per carton, since size distribution affects yield.
- Box and carton configuration — pieces per box, boxes per carton, carton dimensions.
- Artwork and branding — printed boxes, private label, logo placement and colours.
- Order quantity — total pieces and whether the order is a trial or a repeat program.
- Destination — Canadian port or inland delivery point, since freight and documentation differ.
- Incoterm — EXW, FOB, CIF or DDP changes who carries freight, insurance and duty.
- Documentation — what the Canadian market entry requires for your channel.
Change any one of these and the unit price changes. This is why a quotation is only comparable when it is built on the same specification and the same terms.
Indicative packing and loading reference for a 4.0 g vinyl glove
The following values come from Junda's user-supplied reference sheet. They are model-specific and indicative, not universal specifications, and they must be confirmed against the exact SKU, the current packing list, carton measurements, gross weight, container loading and destination-market documents before quotation or shipment.
| Item | Reference value (indicative, model-specific) |
|---|---|
| Glove | Disposable vinyl (PVC), 4.0 g, size M |
| Box | 100 pcs/box |
| Carton | 10 boxes/carton (1,000 pcs) |
| Carton dimensions | 36.5 × 23.5 × 23.5 cm |
| Carton volume | 0.0202 m³ |
| Carton gross weight | approx. 4.5 kg |
| Cartons per 20GP | approx. 1,650–1,800 |
| Cartons per 40GP | approx. 3,350–3,650 |
| Cartons per 40HQ | approx. 3,800–4,150 |
Container figures are approximate and subject to actual loading. Use them for planning, not for a binding commitment.
Piece weight, net weight and carton gross weight are three different numbers
Buyers frequently mix these up, and the confusion leads to bad cost comparisons.
- Piece weight is the weight of one glove — 4.0 g in the reference above. It is a specification input, not a shipping figure.
- Net weight is the weight of the gloves alone in a carton. For the reference model, 1,000 pieces × 4.0 g = 4.0 kg of glove material.
- Carton gross weight is the net weight plus boxes, polybag or liner, and the shipping carton. The reference sheet gives approximately 4.5 kg gross, so roughly 0.5 kg of packaging per carton in that configuration.
Freight is quoted on gross weight and volume, while price per piece is driven by piece weight. Keeping the two separate prevents you from comparing a lighter glove against a heavier one as if they were the same product.
MOQ and trial orders
Junda's buying terms for disposable gloves are straightforward:
- MOQ: 1,000 pcs for disposable gloves. Trial orders are welcome.
- Latex protective gloves MOQ: 10,000 pairs (JUNDA brand or OEM).
A 1,000-piece trial is one reference carton in the configuration above, which makes it a practical way to check clarity, fit, cuff behaviour and packing quality before committing to a container program. If your Canadian channel needs mixed sizes or custom artwork, raise that in the enquiry so the trial reflects the intended production build.
Samples: how they work
Samples are free. The buyer's own international courier collects them from Junda's Guangzhou factory, and the buyer pays the courier directly. Please contact us by email or WhatsApp before booking the collection so the sample set and pickup details are ready.
Samples let you verify what a specification actually feels like. They do not replace the packing list, carton measurements or market documentation, which still need to be confirmed for the exact SKU.
Lead time and certificates
Lead time is 15–30 days, with the exact date confirmed with the order. Plan Canadian retail or distribution launches around that confirmation rather than around a general range.
Certificates are shown as masked previews on the Quality page, and full documents are available on request. Two cautions are worth stating plainly:
- A certification mark or logo visible in promotional artwork is not proof of current certification. Artwork is marketing material.
- Whether a given document satisfies your destination market depends on your product category, channel and the current rules in force. Confirm the exact documents required for your Canadian market entry with your importer or compliance advisor, and confirm the exact SKU documents with us.
Payment terms
Payment terms are not published here. They follow the quotation and the contract agreed for your order.
How to request a quotation that you can actually compare
Send one message with the following, and you will get a quotation built on your real requirement rather than a generic range:
- Exact product and intended use — for example, general examination, cleaning or light-duty handling.
- Piece weight in grams, or the weight range you will accept.
- Size mix per carton.
- Box and carton configuration, if you have a preference.
- Artwork or private-label requirement.
- Total quantity, and whether this is a trial or a program.
- Destination city or port in Canada.
- Incoterm you want quoted.
- Any market documentation you need to review.
You can reach the export team by email or WhatsApp. For MOQ, sample, lead-time and ordering questions, see our buying terms. For product options, start with medical PVC gloves and the wider disposable gloves range.
A note on comparing suppliers
The lowest unit price is only meaningful when it is attached to a specification, a packing configuration, a quantity, a destination and an Incoterm. A supplier quoting a lower number on a lighter glove, a smaller carton count or an EXW term is not necessarily cheaper — you may simply be carrying more freight, more packaging or more risk yourself.
Build your comparison sheet around the variables above, ask every supplier to quote the same build, and treat any specification value as confirmable only once the exact SKU, current packing list, carton measurements, gross weight, container loading and destination-market documents have been verified.
